Just mixed some of my conditioner combo with brahmi, amla, henna, kalpi tone, and bhringraj powders, 2 ounces of Bhringraj oil, in a jar and letting it sit to use up as a conditioner.

I also just put some nettle, black tea, Belle Bar green tea, hibiscus tea, and rose hips on the stove brewing for next the next week's herbal tea rinse. I used up the rest of the last batch this morning.
How long do you let everything steep

Thanks! I never thought to look there.

Zenia Herbal.
Thank you! Never heard of the company before.

I'm looking for a place that sells hesh and dabur brand products. Amazon and ebay is a bit pricier than I remember. I usually go to an indian store about an hour from me, but I really can't justify driving all that way for some boxes of powder. I may try the zenia store. :)

Oh ok, yeah I usually only see Hesh at Indian stores and Amazon. Zenia is a brand. I like their 12 herb herbal henna blend. I used that for my infused oil. That reminds me of the time I had my dad drive like 45min to the only Indian store in the city just for some henna lol. I grabbed vatika just so I didn't walk out with only one thing.

What does spraying an herbal tea spritz then applying leave in do for the hair . I'm new to this technique


Here's a couple of links that might help you. You will need to do a lot of research and reading on the herbs to determine which ones are best for what your hair needs, ie, strength, moisture, shine, etc...

I let the herbs steep on the stove for about an hour, strain, put the liquid in a spray bottle, add some essential oils to it for the scent, and then refrigerate. I also spray the mixture on my hair strands by the way.

As for the oil, I let the powders sit in a mason jar either on my candle warmer for about 2 weeks or in my windowsill for a month to 6 weeks. Strain and add essential oils then add to a squeeze bottle with a nozzle to add to my scalp when ready.

Hope this helps

Thanks I did research already. Doesn't seem like you can go wrong with any Herb. I picked a few I really wanted and could afford . I found more research on rinses then leaving the tea in

You're welcome. Rinses are great too and I do those intermittently as well.

I'm simple so rinses are a no for me lol
Understood but the rinses are the same I use for spraying my hair with. It's already made so I just pour it on my hair and scalp in the shower and leave it in, especially if I feel I'm not using it up fast enough before it goes rancid.

Scratch the hibiscus tea. I don't like all that red every where even though it's easy to clean. New tea I'm testing will be

Green tea
Marshmallow root
Chamomile
Nettle leaf
Lavender

What does the salt do for you in your hair and how much do you use?

Salt was the only thing that made my hair feel soft again after a Henna tx left me with straw hair. Once I tried it, I was hooked and used it weekly in my moisturizing DC mix. I don't measure but I use about 1.5 tsp - 2 tbsp depending on what I feel my hair needs for the week. I like it best mixed with a very thick condish base like Queen Helen cholesterol. HTH! :)
